Meena’s father made some chikki. Meena ate 1/2 of it and her younger brother ate 1/4 of it. How much of the total chikki did Meena and her brother eat together?

To calculate how much Meena and her brother ate, we start by adding 1/2 and 1/4. First, we find a common denominator. Convert 1/2 into 2/4 so the fractions have the same base. Now, add the fractions:
2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4.
This means together, they ate 3/4 of the chikki. This process of finding a common denominator and adding the numerators is crucial when dealing with fractions that don’t initially share the same denominator.
